Dr white is awesome! Sit in the front in his class because it's a LOT easier to hear and understand what he's talking about. Also, he tells you to read the book and all the chapters he covers in class. This is only partly true. As long as you read the special stories in the chapters, you'll do well.

Dr. White is awesome! His class has probably been my favorite out of all the classes I have taken. Here are a few tips: Sit up front because it's WAY easier to pay attention and he's less likely to pick fun at you; NEVER be late (he will probably ridicule you for the rest of the semester), and read the little stories in the book. You'll be set!!

Dr. Neil White is an excellent teacher. He is a very funny person. I would recommend him to anybody that wants a good professor. You should sit in the front rows because it is easier to listen.

I won't say much other than he makes his students very uncomfortable, especially female students and POC. He's obsessive over having ALL electronics turned off, not just put away. After he orders you to do this he will then proceed to making remarks about female students and not lecture much about course material. Do yourself a favor and avoid him!

One of the worst professors I've ever had. I'm writing this from Sociology at LA Tech; he is a horrible teacher. Tests are never what he talks about, the "lectures" are him relating terms in the textbook to his personal life, and he doesn't listen to feedback. He's not malicious in how bad of a teacher he is, just a bad teacher. Avoid taking him.

You must listen to his lectures. The random things he says will be on the exams

Dr.Whites class was super easy. He yaps the whole lecture and as long as you take notes and skim through the reading you will be fine. He does say some off putting things sometimes but for the most part he tries to be respectful.

Overall, a very interesting and rather easy class. He's nice, his grading is straightforward, and there is no "true" homework you are required to do. The point opportunities are SLIM, but as long as you perform well on the three exams (take notes, review study guides, and skim the online textbook for examples mentioned), you'll do perfectly fine!

This was honestly one of the worst teachers/ professors i have ever had to take. He would constantly make comments about the girls in the actual class or make comments about people of color and then proceed to call those people out. If you are okay with being embarrassed and picked on this is the professor to take.

Dr. White is an odd professor in all the ways. He will mention his son about 15 times per lecture and it rarely ever pertains to the subject. He can be a weird with some students especially women and poc. He does not teach from the textbook but the exam has a portion from the textbook which requires a good amount of study and prep.

For me, Dr. White was a very well rounded professor! The stuff he teaches in class is going to be on the exams but he will give you a study guide over what will be on the exam. The first 15 questions are always from the book so you will have to read the chapters. He will respond to your emails and wants to help you succeed in his class!

He doesn't like students talking in class. He makes inappropriate jokes often and he rambles for majority of the class. There are also assigned seats. If you don't have to take him DONT!

I'm really not sure what to say about Dr. White. I've taken SOCW4012 and SOCL1001 with him. What I will say is that he can make people VERY uncomfortable. I hated the first few days so much that I seriously wanted to drop the class. However, once you get used to him and get over his strange remarks (he's basically just ragebaiting), he's ok.

Dr Whites socio class was easy, I got a B because I was fighting to not fall asleep everyday and didn't read the textbook. He gets easily sidetracked and will go on random tangents and awkward conversations. No electronic devices or talking unless you want to be shamed in front of everyone
